2. Operating the engine with insufficient, contaminated, or an incorrect grade of
lubricating oil;

10%, or the use of alternative fuels such as liquefied petroleum or natural gas on
engines not originally designed/manufactured by Briggs & Stratton to operate on
such fuels;

assembly;
5. Striking an object with the cutter blade of a rotary lawn mower, loose or improperly
installed blade adapters, impellers, or other crankshaft coupled devices, or excessive

ventilation;

cutter blades or impellers, or improper coupling of equipment components to the
crankshaft;

The U.S. EPA, and Briggs & Stratton (B&S) are pleased to explain the emissions control

engines and large spark ignited engines less than or equal to 1.0 liter must be designed,
built, and equipped to meet stringent anti-smog standards. B&S must warrant the emissions

no abuse, neglect, or improper maintenance of your engine.
Your exhaust emissions control system may include parts such as the carburetor or fuel
injection system, ignition system, and catalytic converter. Also included may be hoses,
belts, connectors, sensors, and other emissions-related assemblies.
Where a warrantable condition exists, B&S will repair your engine at no cost to you including
diagnosis, parts, and labor.
Manufacturer’s Warranty Coverage:
Small off-road engines and large spark ignited engines less than or equal to 1.0 liter, are
warranted for two years, or for the time period listed in the respective engine or product
warranty statement, whichever is greater. If any emissions-related part on your B&S engine
is defective, the part will be repaired or replaced by B&S.
Owner’s Warranty Responsibilities:
• • As the engine owner, you are responsible for the performance of the required
maintenance listed in your Operator’s Manual. B&S recommends that you retain all
receipts covering maintenance on your engine, but B&S cannot deny warranty solely
for the lack of receipts or your failure to ensure the performance of all scheduled
maintenance.
• • As the engine owner, you should however be aware that B&S may deny you warranty
coverage if your engine or a part has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper
maintenance, or unapproved modifications.
• You are responsible for presenting your engine to a B&S distribution center, servicing
dealer, or other equivalent entity, as applicable, as soon as a problem exists. The
warranty repairs should be completed in a reasonable amount of time, not to exceed
30 days. If you have any questions regarding your warranty rights and responsibilities,
